Argentina vs Algeria: Pre-Match Opta Facts
Argentina and Algeria will meet at the FIFA World Cup for the first time. Their only previous encounter was a June 2007 friendly – Argentina won 4-3 at Barcelona’s Camp Nou. Lionel Messi scored his first international brace in that match. This will be Algeria’s fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup and their first since 2014 – that World Cup in Brazil was the only time they have progressed past the first round of the tournament. Argentina’s first FIFA World Cup match against African opposition ended in a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in 1990. Since then, they’ve won all six such matches – five of them against Nigeria. Argentina’s Lionel Messi has played 26 matches at the FIFA World Cup, more than any other player (13 goals, 8 assists). If he features against Algeria, he would also become the first player in history to participate in six World Cup editions (Cristiano Ronaldo could later achieve this). Algeria won two of their first three FIFA World Cup matches in 1982, but only one of their next 10 — a 4-2 win over Korea Republic in 2014. They have also recorded only one clean sheet in their 13 World Cup matches – a goalless draw against England during the 2010 tournament. Only Brazil (5 titles), Germany and Italy (4 each) have won the FIFA World Cup more often than Argentina (3). However, since Argentina’s first triumph in 1978, no nation has lifted the trophy on as many occasions as La Albiceleste.Enjoy this? Add Opta Analyst as a preferred source by clicking here.
